Also excellent for book arts. KIZUKI HANGA P6802 This off-white, crisp, heavy weight paper sells for about 40% less than OFF WHITE comparable papers in the same weight and size range that are not 100% 27" x 40.5" 135gm/sqM Kozo. It is sized for Moku Hanga (the Japanese style of printmaking with Sized water-based inks) and is ideal for large, multiple block prints that require Handmade many printings. Unlike some papers which tend to flop when they are 100% Kozo damp, Kizuki Hanga has the weight and body to make even full-size sheets easy to place on the block. Tears exceptionally easily. This paper could be used for Western style of block printing with oil ink, but it is intended for the serious printmaker who wishes to do large as well as small prints using Japanese techniques. It accepts ink beautifully giving back sharp, luminous, clear colors. KIZUKI HOSHO P6803 Created by Living National Treasure Ichibei Iwano and now made by his NATURAL granddaughter, this is the famous Moku Hanga printmaking Washi from the 18" x 21.5" 75gm/sqM Echizen district of Japan used by professional printers in Japan.

It is a soft, thick paper and takes ECHIZEN KOZO P6809 ink very readily. One side is very smooth although not as smooth as a WHITE machine-made paper like Torinoko (P6853). This paper still has that 26” X 38” 55gm/sqM wonderful hand-made character. It is acid free, with four deckle edges.

Machine made Colors printed on the White paper will be very true; on the Cream paper, 70% mitsumata and 30% acid they take on richer, warmer tones.

GROUP C WASHI MASA DOSA P6903 A relatively thin, very white, hand made paper with four deckle edges and WHITE a crisp finish and feel. Do not confuse this with the light weight or waxed 23" x 32" 90gm/sqM Masa commonly sold in the U.S. Think of a crisp, sized Hosho (P7005).

  • The Paper Mills of Coventry by Bill Jobbagy, May 2006
    The Paper Mills of Coventry by Bill Jobbagy, May 2006 Two paper mills existed in Coventry in the early 1800’s. They were among the 10-12 paper mills located in Connecticut at the time, though only East Hartford and Coventry had more than one. Paper was made by hand by essentially the same process used for 900 years. The raw material was cloth rags and water. The first mill was located on the west side of the Skungamaug River on the present border of Coventry and Andover. The second mill was located on the Mill Brook in the Village about where the Tracy Mill and Ackert Electric office is today. The paper mill on the Skungamaug River was built in the 1790’s by Elijah House. It consisted of a mill, dam and dwelling on about one acre of land. The ownership was split and changed hands several times until 1813 when Gideon Hollister consolidated the deeds and acquired full ownership. Mr. Hollister was born in Glastonbury in 1776 and settled in the Andover Society of Coventry in the early 1800’s. His paper mill was a relatively large complex. The road leading by it from the Hartford-Norwich Turnpike (Route 6) to South Street was known for years as the Paper Mill Road. Today the road (Times Farm Road) dead-ends before reaching South Street. Gideon and his wife Mary had five sons and two daughters. Charles, his fourth son, remained in business with his father until the sale of the site. Gideon’s fifth son, Nelson, worked as a paper maker with his father for a while but moved to Hartford in 1838.
